Today’s conflict has little or nothing to do with the British, it’s between the Brahmin Peshwas and Mahars. At present, the Chief Minister of Maharashtra is a Brahmin.
The failure of the BJP-RSS dispensation in Gujarat to read caste correctly and understand its dynamic political character has led to this present predicament.
Caste and regional divides will influence elections next month but newer concerns such as the economic slowdown and aspirations for progress will also matter.
Since Nitish is being seen as a villain among a large sections of Dalits, and is also an ethically beaten public figure right now, everything he says might appear bad. When India Inc is slowly but steadily moving towards integrating Dalit/Adivasis in their workforce chain, why is this man barking private sector quota at this juncture?
Nitish Kumar finds himself in a fix as he ditched the backward class constituency in jumping onto the BJP bandwagon. As an astute politician, he realised that all his rhetoric would not work with people. Therefore, he has come out with this trick of demanding a 50 per cent reservation in private sector.
Now, for the first time in decades, caste combinations seem to be drifting away from the BJP, thanks to the rise of Hardik Patel, Alpesh Thakore and Jignesh Mevani.
The Congress would put up a fight in Gujarat and show the Prime Minister's clout has reduced. But just forming a rainbow caste coalition won't be enough.
The baseless claim of Arunachal Pradesh as 'Southern Tibet' cropped up once again when an Indian national was harassed by Chinese immigration officials at Shanghai Airport.
Once acquired by IAF, the medium transport aircraft (MTA) will replace both AN-32s and IL-76s, it is learnt. The idea behind the revamp is to meet modern operational needs.
It is a brilliant, reasonably priced, and mostly homemade aircraft with a stellar safety record; only two crashes in 24 years since its first flight. But its crash is a moment of introspection.
May be Sanjay Nirupam is the president of the Mumbai unit of “Breaking India” outfit. V Unhappy with the way he tried to portray this issue. One thing he should know is RSS never uses the word “DALIT” (it feels painful to use this word here), it considers everyone as INDIAN. RSS is 2nd nxt to army for guarding INDIA.
K J Verma….Read full history….It were Brahmins who were the most loyal servant thereafter of Britishers…Also It was not a local ruler….Peshwas are all foreigner calling themselves Brahmins and fooling local people. There DNA proves they are not native Indian……They came from Eurasia.
Mr Nirupam originally from Bihar and now settled in Maharashtra must be knowing composition of Upper Castes. Brahmins are always counted among upper caste everywhere in all the states of India. Hence there is no point in dfferentiating between Brahmins and Upper Caste. Now coming to the Koregaon Battle, it was a fight between British and local indian Raja, popularly known as Peshwa. The Britishers were fighting for establishing their supremacy. Now Peshwas did not offer employment to Mahars, so called low caste. They found employment with Britishers and fought against their own countrymen and helped in defeating them. It helped Britishers in laying a pucca foundation for their empire. It was an anglo indian war, nothing more nothing less. Mahars supported East India Company and fought as their paid employees. Since Peshwas did not employ lower caste people like Mahars, his army naturally consisted mainly of Upper Caste people. Naturally Brahmins would be there who fought as paid employees of Peshwas. The battle was East India Company vs Peshwas and not Mahars vs Brahmins.

CONGRESS IS A CATALYST IN THE PRESENT CONFLICT. GOVERNMENT OF INDIA AND OF MAHARASHTRA SHOULD BE CAREFUL OF THESE THINGS
